If you want to go the hubcap route here are a few to ponder over.

Simple chrome wheels with babymoons are a nice place to start.

It doesn't look bad with what's on it.
235/70/15s make a nice fitting rear tire (you could go a little wider, but not much).
Here are what baby moons and rings look like, but I don't think it would go with your car. Maybe Keystones or torque thrusts?

Thats what I was thinking of. Something modern with a slight vintage look.
Do you have a closer photo?

Would you have a clearence issue with the 275's on the front? That way it would have the same tire on all four corners.
